To the foregoing Sir Moses replied in a most eloquent speech, expressing his gratification at receiving such a testi monial, inscribed with the names of a thousand of his co religionists. He said that the gift was welcome to Lim, as a proof that his endeavours had not been fruitless. So far they had indeed been crowned with success; and though of course it would only be in tht, fulness of time that their complete result would be realised, and though isolated in stances of oppression might yet be looked for, still he had reason to be satiefidd, from the best sources of information, that great good had already followed his labours, and that more would continue to be felt, The address was inscribed in a volume as richly embel lished as it is possible for a book to be. The cover, of purple velvet, is adorned with silver gilt ornaments, studded with onyx, rubies, torquoises, and other precious stones. In the oentre is the coat of arms of Sir Moses executed in enamel. At each of the four corners is a figure in a frame. Two of these figures represent severally Faith and Justice. The remaining two are allegories of Africa and Asia, in both which quarters of the world the exertions of Sir Moses Moatefiore have been most recently prosecuted—that is to say, in Morocco and at Damascus. The book is further adorned with four panels, enamelled in an Eastern floral style ; and it contains views of Trieste and the Holy Land, painted in oil, and also two views of Jerusalem, beautifully executed in water-colours, by Fiedler, the celebrated Aus trian artist. s '• . .

FRANCIS TUCKER AND CO.. 8, South Molton-street, Grosvenor-square. manufactory— Kensington (Established 1730). The largest Establishment in England for the Manufacture of Wax Candles for the use of the Altar Presentation to Sir Moses Montefiore, In relation to the recent mission of Sir Moses Montefiore, Barcnet, to Morocco, addresses have within the last few weeks been pouring in upon him from every quarter of England where there is anything like a large Jewish con gregation, and the example seems likely to be followed by the congregations of continental cities. One of these de monstrations of admiring gra; itude for perseverance in carry ing out an enlightened and benevolent work, was afforded last Sunday by the presentation of a testimonial to the ve nerable baronet, at his marine residence near Ramsgate. The ceremony took place in the presence of a few private friends. The Chevalier de Mapurgo, who had been entrusted by 1,030 of his co-religionists at Trieste to convey the ex pression of their heartfelt thanks to Sir Moses Montefiore, read in Italian the address to which their signatures were attachedond of which the following is a translation : " ILLUSTRIOUS BARONET—. " Whenever the Supreme Disposer of events has decreed, in His unsearchable wisdom, to try the constancy of the faith in Israel, by causing his people to pass through severe trials at different times and places, lie always raised up some mighty champion who, inspired by holy zeal, and trusting in the eternal promise that Israel shall not perish, fought their holy battles and alleviated their sufferings, causing to shine with increased brightness that star which at moments seemed eclipsed. " Our century did not, indeed, seem destined to exhibit new trials of this nature, as by the increasing light of progress that equality between men for which so much blood has been shed, and which cost so many victims in so many ages is, praise be to God, becoming general. " But if this is so in Europe—and not even in the whole of it, for in some parts that fanaticism which you have so successfully combated still tries to make itself felt from time to time—in other parts of the globe it raises much oftener its threatening hand, particularly in the Muesulman dominions, raging against all who do not profess their faith, but especially against the Israelites, subjecting them to the most barbarous treatment, threaten ing their dignity as men, their property, and even their lives. " The two principal places which had become notorious in this respect of late years are Damascus and Morocco ; and in both, within the space of about four lustres, a single man, supported by enlightened Governments and assisted by some of his own illustrious co-religionists, was enabled to change the grief of a people into joy and their mourning into rejoic ings. " That grcat and good man were you, Sir Mesas Monte fiore—you who, unmindful of toils and difficulties of every sort, crossing seas and traversing steppes and vast deserts in the most ungenial climates, in inhospitable countries, in a rigid season, and at an advanced stage of life, while pos sessed of a fortune which would have invited one of a less generous mind to enjoy it, and made him shrink from assum ing unnecessary cares, you, forgetting self, and sacrificing your own ease to the public welfare, hastened to the rescue of your unhappy brethren, who raised their supplications to you from the depth of their despairing soul; and with the help of Divine Providence your intercession was crowned with speedy and complete success, for you had but to show yourself to triumph. " And not satisfied with simply removing the sufferings of the moment, and rescuing the intended victims from the hands of their slayers and persecutors, you succeeded in establishing the general position of the nation for the future on a solid and lasting basis. " Nor to the threatened or persecuted alone did you direct your loving solicitude, but you also visited the capital of the Caliphs. The chief ruler gave you the golden sceptre, and, furnished with a hatti soherif, you repaired several times to the holy city of Solimau, for the purpose of raising also the moral position of our co-religionists in those parts, by educating them, and teaching them handicrafts and agriculture, erecting at a heavy Expense temples and schools, hospitals and workshops. For all these things your namo has been blessed, in the same venerable place where arose once the Temple of Solomon from the oriental wall, which is still standing from the patriarchal tombs of Ebron, from the illustrious academies of Saffeth and of Tiberias. " Bleseed be thou, 0 Moses, all Israel exclaims, blessed be thou who did so much for me, blessed be thou the chosen of our Heavenly Father for this holy mission. Thou haat so splendidly fulfilled it ! " Amidst so much enthusiasm of an entire nation, which is even shared in by Governments ;and peoples of other re ligious persuasions, how could we, Israelites of Trieste, be silent, zealous as we pride ourselves in being far the wel fare of our nation—we who have had the great joy to pay you homage thrice on your journey for holy purposes, have prayed to God with you in our temples for the happy issue of your magnanimous enterprises, and together with you have thanked Him for having graciously heard us, have decided to invoke every year upon your venerable head all the celestial benedictions by means of our chief pastor in the great temple of God, on the holy day of pardon in its most solemn hour, with a prayer expressly dedicated to this purpose, and decreed by our national representatives. " And now, after your last godly struggle in Morocco, tbe Israelites of Trieste have decided, illustrious baronet, to give a now and solemn proof of their admiration for you, by perpetuating your illustrious name to future ages, that our children and children's children may bless it in coming generations, as we do now. " They have decided, therefore, to place a commemora tive marble slab in our great common council chamber, on which your acts shall be engraven in letters of gold as the valorous and holy champion of Israel. " in adaition to which, knowing that you prize above all things charity, which you exercise so generously, they have decided—' To found a charitable institution, which shall bear in perpetuity the name of the Montefipre Charity FEDERAL ATROCI T=3. (From a Correopone en o I send you a statement of occurrences now going on in the United States, which for barbarity exceed anything within my knowledge. The extracts enclosed are from Louisville (Kentucky) papers of July 20. And for what are these defenceless women and children deported from their homes and placed either in a wilderness at the mouth of the Mis sissippi River (where nothing lives but alligators or snakes), or sent among a hostile people in the North, without the means of sustenance and no possibility of getting any em ployment ? Their attachment to the Southern cause, their refusal to take the oath of allegiance to the infamous des potism of the North, has caused this treatment. Think of refined ladies and tenderly nurtured children being exposed to such horrors.

The Yankee has violated every rule of warfare, and daily prac tises most horrible atrocities which you do not hear of. I give you an extract from a private leiter from Kentucky :-- "Johnston has retired step by step before Sherman until his advance is now near Atlanta, but his course is marked by devastation and death, and his army, daily weakened by assaults of the rebels, is only kept up by constant reinforce ments, and we are all calmly waiting t o h ear th a t h e i s overwhelmed. The acknowledged loss of the army is 40,000 since it first marched againt Dalton. The real loss is far greater. Some of Sherman's omcers now say he dares not retreat, as it would be worse than a 'Moscow' The war is daily assuming a more savage character. If men are killed or robbed by roving bands, perhaps of mere robbers of either army, at once orders are sent here to forward so many prisoners to that place, and they are then hung on the same spot without trial. This has been done twice in four days. Sherman forwarded 249 women and children from their homes to be sent north of the Ohio, utterly desti tute, to go among those who hate them. 29 women and children, refined ladies, came on the 19th, were put in the military prison that night, and forwarded the next day down the Mieeissippi to the extreme limits of the Gulf of Mexico, to dwell with alligators or to die in the swamps. And the crime of the Southern women was in aiding the rebellion in which their fathers, sons, husbands, and brothers are meet ing this brute in deadly hostility. I eend you this slip with their names.

If this lady had been discovered in writing this letter she too would have been sent among the alligators in the wilder• ness. One of the extracts I enclose you is from the regular Administration organ. The editor must be a demon. Ile coolly speaks of ladies puuished «ith ouch cruelty as "on a journey for their rights." The facts are horrible, and re quire no comment : ON A JOURNEY FOR THEIR compliance with the recent order promulgated by General Sherman, requiring all disloyal citizens within the limits of his division who were not willing to live under and abide by the laws of the Federal Government, to be sent to a country where they could enjoy free thought, free speech, and free actions, in accordance with their principles and love for the rebellion, th e f ollowing named persons arrived in this city yesterday evening, under guard, from the front —Mrs Susan Birchfield, Peter G.

AnitIVAL Or WOMEN" ANT) CHILDREN FROM THE SOUTH. —The train which arrived from Nashville last evening brought up from the South 249 women and children, who are sent here by order of Gen. Sherman, to be transferred north of the Ohio river, there to remain during the war. We understand that there are now atNashville 1,500 women are to be sent to this place t o be cant North.

Th ese people are mostly in a destitute c ondition, having no matins to pro vide for themselves a support. Why they should be sent here to be transferred North is more than we can under stand.

No one dares to speak out against these barbarities. Such a course would bring down upon the offender the same punishment. Sherman seem s determined to carry out his infamous proclamation of last April, when he said that so far the United States Government had kindly all ow ed the rebel women and children to occupy their houses, but, if there was not a speedy change in the sentiment of the country, ho would not only take away their property and give it to loyal inhabitants who might come in to settle the country, but he would also deport the disloyal inhabitants. remedy for such The only disloyalty Was to exterminate the population and import better i nhabitants from other countries.

During the settle ment of this matter the discussions between the journals of Vienna end those of Berlin are proceeds ing with great vivacity, the first insisting on the preservation of the rights of the n —ormanic Confede ration, the second delighting to note the faults by which the secondary Shies of Germany have rendered themselves unwortl Y, in their opinion, of participating at the present time in the triumph obtained by the military succesbes and diplotnacy of the two Great Powers. The Xorthern Gazette of Germany makes itself especially remarkable by the ' extreme violence of its la ngatl'ge. In speaking of the occupation of Lauenbii,rg by the Hanoverian troops, it asks what rest: A it can hope to attain by this offence directrjd against Prussia.

Mineral Wealth of the United Kingdom. 1 The " Mineral Statistics of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for the year 1863" by Robert Hunt, F.R.S., Keeper of Mining Records, havejust been published. The Mining Record-office in which is preserved for the use of the public every document which can be obtained having re lation to our extensive subterranean exp!orations is one of the departments centred in the Museum of Practical Geology which are under the general direc tion of Sir Roderick I. Murchison. The mining and metallurgical interests, sensible of the real value of this office, freely communicate the returns by which Mr R. Hunt is enabled to compile his annual vo lume. In all the continental States yielding mineral produce returns are published at certain intervals, which are more or less perfect. In every instance such returns are compulsory, and are collected by the officers of the Government in each mining dis trict, who communicate them to a central office. In this country, on the contrary, there is no authority making it compulsory on any mineral proprietor to furnish information ; yet it is in nearly all eases given without hesitation, upon application, and the " Mineral Statistics" issued from our Mining Re cord-office will be found to be more complete than any similar publications in Europe. From this work we are enabled to place the following summary be• fore our readers :—• COAL.—Of this, the most important mineral pro. duct, we obtained the enormous quantity of 86,292,215 tons, being an increase of more than 4,500,000 tons on the produce of 1862. Our exports of coal in the three last years were as follows ;- 1861, 7,222,718 tons; 1862, 7,672,670 tons; 1863, 7,529,341 tons. Hence it follows that there must have been greatly increased energy in some branches of British manufacture to account for this large con sumption of coal. In 1862 it appears that consider. able quantities were stocked, especially in Lanca shire, and other districts devoted to textile mann. factures ; this does not seem to have been the case last year, the whole being returned as " sold or used." The great extension of coal•mining is shown by the fact that, in 1853, the number of collieries at work amounted to 2.397; whereas, in 1863, the number had risen to 3,180. In the great northern coalfields of Durham and Northumberland we find the production of its collieries bas increased from 19,360,356 tons in 1863 to 22,154, 146 tons in 1863 At the same time there has been a decrease of the quantities shipped to foreign countries and sent coastwise to the extent of 418,163 tons; but the North-Eastern Railway carried out of this coalfield 2,029,803 tons of coal and coke more than it trans• ported in 1862. In the returns given of coal production the quan tities wasted is " getting" and at the pit's mouth is not stated, It may be inferred that this is very large when we find the coal-trade of the north giv ing in their report the " duff and waste" from their own district is 500,000 tons. Taking this into consideration it is evident that the rate at which the exhaustion of our coal beds is now progressing cannot be regarded as less than ninety millions of tons per annum. IRON.—The iron ore produce of the United King dom amounted to 9,088,060 tons. Of this the Cle veland district in the North Riding of Yorkshire, produced 2,553,806 tons of argillaceous carbonate of iron ; Scotland, 1,500,000 tons, principally of black band iron ore ; while Lancashire gave 658,643 tons, and Cumberland 690,974 tons of their remarkable red hematite. This iron ore with about 50,000 tons imported fed 597 blast furnaces, which yielded the following amounts of pig iron : England, 2,451,211 tons ; Waks, 898,829 tons ; Scotland, 1,160,00 tons; total, 4,510,(40 tons. This was 566,571 tone more pig iron than we made in 1862. This will account for the extra consumps tion of very nearly 2,000,000 tons of coals. COPPER.—Oar copper mines hare, for some few years exhibited a regular falling off in their rate of production. Two hundred and twenty-two copper mines, of which 190 arc in Devonshire sad Corn wall, gave 210,947 tons of copper ore, the money value of this being £1,100,554. By smelting this ore we obtained 14,247 tons of fine copper. In ad dition to this we imported from foreign and colonial mines 26,386 tons of copper ore, which gave 4,461 tons of metal, sold at public sales; and 70,498 tons of copper ore, producing 17,509 tons of copper, were sold by private contract. Of the foreign ore we ina• ported from Chili 25,966 tons, and 18,708 tons of regulus, while Cuba sent us 15,570 tons of ore and 858 tons of regalia. TIN.—We obtained from the tin mines of Corns wall and Devonshire in the year 1863 a larger quantity of tin than in all probability was ever before produced. The tin ore raised being 16,157 tons, which gave 10,000 tons of white (metallic) tin. When we remember that the tin mines of our western peuinsala have been most industriously worked for more than 3,000 years, this return will convey some idea of the continued richness of this stanniferous district, and of the enormous value of the original deposit. We have recently been made acquainted with some curious facts connected with the mode of occurrence of tin in the I , lode," or mineral vein. All the old tin mines were shallow workings, and many mines were abandoned at comparatively small depths when the miners " came to the yellows," by which they meant copper ore. Th e yellows," as the phrase was, " always cutting the tin." Dalcoath, and many other minee which were worked for tin, passed gradually into copper mines, and were then prosecuted to great depths for that metal. Passing, however, through the copper ore in the lode, the miners have again come into rich deposits of tin. From Dalcoath mine, at a depth of nearly 300 fathoms, the adventurers obtained last year 1,026 tons of tin ore, worth £69,741. Many other mines are exhibiting precisely the same conditions, and the belief that the ores of the valuable metal tin occur only near the surface is exploded. We imported, principally through Holland and from British India, via Singapore, 2,728 tons of tin and 669 tons of ore and regains. LEAD.—The lead mines of these islands produced 91,283 tons of lead ore, which yielded 68,220 tons of metallic lead, and 634,0040 z. of silver. Our lead mines are more generally diffused than those of any other metal except iron—the counties producing the largest quantities being,— Lead Ore. Lea& Silver. Tons. Tons. Ounces. Durham and Northumberland 22,774 17,205 81,315 Yorkshire .. 8,931 9,171 3,270 Denbighshire .. 7,919 6,432 2 9,797 7,131 6,661 Cardiganshire.. 58,846 Cumberland 6,690 4,949 41,304 Cornwall .. 6,259 4,270 206,312 There appears to be a regular order in the in• crease of the quantities of silver contained in the ores Of lead as we advance towards our southern and western counties. ZINC.—Of zinc ores—" bled...jack" of the miners, " blends" of the mineralogists—our mines produced 13,699 tons, which, on smelting, gave of metallic zinc 3,885 tons, Our Zinc miners have, however, mach difficulty in competing with the mines pro ducing the ores of zinc on the Continent. Compared with those already named, our other mineral treasures are unimportant. GOLD.—In the appendix to the Mineral Statistics we have a complete list of all thu mines and col lieries of the United Kingdom, with the yuimes of the companies or proprietors working them. From this list we learn that there are 23 mines dignif ed with the names of gold mines in North Wales. We have, however, returns of gold from only two of these, and the total quantity obtained is only 552 ounces, of the value of £1,747. In 1862 Vigra and Clogan alone produced 5,299 oz. of gold of the value of £20,390. These results, after all the excitement about British gold mines which has been rife during the past four years, leading to the expenditure of very large sums of money upon the hills of Merion ethshire, should read a lesson to our eager adven turers. The Great Polish Trial at Berlin. The court held its 19th sitting in this case on the 9th inst. Herr Brachvogel requested that his client, M. Mielenoki, should be excused from attendance on the ground of illness, and MM. Lisiecki, Janecki, and Holthoff, referring to a summons which had been sent them to be preE ant at the examination of witnesses in the case at Posen, moved that these witnesses be examined at Berlin, as their duties to their clients would not permit of their leaving that city. Dr Wilkouski was also proposed as counsel for his brother,who is one of the accused. The Court then retired. and returned with the following decision :- 1. M. Mieleneli cannot be excused from attendance at the trial. 2. The motion of the counsel for the defence relating to the examination of certain' witnesses is rejected, and the witnesses will be examined at Poseu whether the counsel are present or not. 3. Thera is no objection to Dr Wilkonski as counsel for his brother. . . Herr Brachvogel then stated, in answer to an inquiry from the President, that M. Mieleneki was so ill that it would be impossible to bring him from his cell. The Crown prosecutor now resumed the reading of the documents. The first was an alleged copy (certified to by an Austrian offi cial) of a scheme for the organisation of the insurrection, dated May 2, 1863. Messrs Brachvogel, Elven, Gneist, and Lewald protested against this document being accepted as evidence, as it was merely a copy of a project made, and perhaps fabricated, by an Austrian official, and which, even if it were authenticated, would not supply the smallest proof as to the culpability of the accused, most of whom were imprisoned before its date. The Crown presccutor replied that Russia, Austria, and Prussia were perfectly justified in assisting each other to put down an attempt to restore the Poland of 1772. The document was certified by an official of the Austrian Go vernment, and that should be sufficient proof ofits authen ticity. After a very animated discussion, the president said that the question had already been settled, and re quested the defence not to return to it. A large number of sentences in former political trials was then read ; after which, Messrs. Janecki, Lisiecki, and Deycks proved that it appears from these sentences that most of them were pros nounced on boys for belonging to literary and historical societies, and that the punishment awarded was very small, and would, in schools in Prussia Proper, have simply amounted to a flogging. M. Ducks also observed that as at Berlin, with a quarter of the population of Posen, there were in the year 1860-3 more than twice as many persons sentenced for political offences as in the Grand Duchy, the inference was that the Prussian population of Berlin were very much more turbulent and revolutionary than the Polish population of Posen. The Crown prosecutor ad mitted this, but denied that it was revelant to the matter at issue. Oa the 10th, after a large number of documents had been read, the witness Wagner was called, who stated that one day M. Guttry requested him to take a bundle of papers to Count Djialynski and bring him a receipt, which he did. The official experts were then called to prove whether cer min Polish documents were in M. Guttry's hand writing, and, after comparing them with two letters addressed by that gentleman to the Commissioner of Justice and the Landrath, declared the handwriting was M. Guttry's. After a sharp discussion between the prosecution and the defence, the latter maintaining that, as the official experts did not understand Polish, they were not qualified to pro nounce on the authorship of a Polish letter, and that this was a case where Polish experts should be called, the Court came to the following decision :—" As the defence denies that the documents in question are in N. Guttry's hand writing, and puts forward the evidence of the Polish ex ports against that of the official ones, the Court will sum mon the Polish experts as proposed, and also agree to the proposal of the prosecution that the evidence of tue persons to whom the letters are addressed should be taken." The proceedings then closed, and the Court adjourned to the 16th. The Bishop of Capetown and Bishop Colenso. The following' are the closing passages of the charge delivered to the diocese of Natal, in the Cathedral of Pieter maritzburg, on May IS, by the Bishop of Capetown This is a widowed diocese, The whole flock is without its pastor. The clergy without their guide, counsellor, friend. The church without its ruler. What are cur present common rerpousgtiliti,s? The duty of my office o.anapels me, scrle vacapte, to take charge of this diocese. I 'have come amongst pat for the express purpose 01 doing so. During the vacancy, the clergy will lo.tk to rue icr in , Biruc,ions as to all points of duty. They will hold them selves responsible to me. It is my earnest desire, my reverend brethren, to render you every assistance in my power, to share your anxieties and labours, to counsel you, and, EO far as in me lies, to strengthen your hands in the discharge of the duties of our common ministry. It will not be long I trust, before another shall be appointed in the room of him who has fallen from the faith, to fill his vacant sat, and witness for Christ and for the faith in this land. " His bishopric shall another take," is the Spirit's rule for the Church in every age. But should there be delay, as, in circumstances which are, happily, of so novel a character, and in which so many and such complicated interests are concerned, may possibly be the case, I shall hold myself in readiness to visit you again, if my other duties will admit of my so doing. Meantime, until another bishop shall be consecrated, I have appointed the very reverend the Dean to act as vicar-general. And I may add, that I have asked J. W. Turnbull, Esq., barrister at-law, to act as registrar; and have placed in his hands the formal withdrawal of the power of attorney under whit& the late Bishop administered the property of this Church vested in the see of Cape Town. In conclusion, suffer me, my reverend brethren, to set before you what, amidst your present trials and anxieties, is your duty. To you, and to your conduct in this post, and at this hour of danger, the whole Church of Christ is looking ; for you it is praying ; nay, from His throne in heaven your Lord looks down and notes how each of His servants comports himself at this crisis in the history of His church. God be praised I ye are yourselves true and faithful to your Lord. It is a ground of deep thankfulness that not one clergyman holding a spiritual office in the whole province—through out this church in South Africa—has been led astray from the faith of Christ by the false teaching that has been put forth. But of you, my brethren, more is expected than this. It is your privilege if ye so will, to be Christ's living witnesses in the land in which your lot is cast; to stand up for Him and for His truth—for the living word of God, and for the written word of God—against him who has forsaken both. Your trial is far less than His saints have endured in other days. Ye are not called to " resist unto blood, striving against sin." Ye are in no danger of bonds, or imprison ment, or death. Nay, the world, or all that would be re spectable in the world, ignorant and careless though some be—all but the scoffer and the unbeliever—avowedly are on God's side. And the assault upon the faith, on the part of him who was set over you in the Lord, has not come, as it might have come, in some subtle form, calculated to deceive even the very elect, and requiring the keen and practised eye of the theologian to detect; but it has come in the bare and naked form of a direct asssult upon the foundation of all revelation and of all faith, to which even the unlearned cannot altogether shut his eyes. Your first duty, my reve rend brethren, is to witness in this land of ydur adoption, for Christ and for the faith, once and once for all delivered. My charge to you is to stand fast in the faith, to quit you like men, to uphold, teach, maintain the good deposit which ye have received, and to hand it on unimpaired to those that shall come after. The first, and next, to regard this sad falling away of your bishop as a solemn call from God to watch more earnestly, lovingly, devotedly, over that portion of the flock which the Chiet Shepherd has entrusted to your keeping. Labour amongst them in season and out of season. Pray for them with continual inter cession night and day. Strive to shield them from the arts of the seducer, and to build them up in their most holy faith. Win for yourselves the rich promise--the glad welcome of your Lord when you shall have finished your course—" To him that overcometh will I grant to sit down with Me on My Throne, even as I also overcame and am set down with the Father on His throne." " Well done, good and faithful servant, enter, thou into the joy of thy Lord." Realise the fact that unto you Christ entrust the custody of His truth, the keeping of His faith in this land. Be not dismayed though some fall away, or are indifferent, or even should they oppose themselves.

Hill, a warehouseman, 2, Warner-place, Bethnal green, said that the deceased was his son. On Monday witness bought some phosphorus at a chemist's. His house was infested with rats, and he intended to poison them with the phosphorus. He placed some of the phos phorus on a half round of bread and butter, and then covered it over with another piece of bread. Witness put the bread so prepared in a corner of the childrens' bedroom The next morning, the rats not having eaten it during the night, witness placed the bread and butter on a shelf in the room. About 9 o'clock on the Tuesday night witness beard loud screams proceeding from the children. Upon entering witness found his two children, George, aged five years, and Thomas, aged four years, standing in the room in a grei-1 state of fright. Flames, or rather sheets of fire were coming from the mouth. of Thomas. The colour of the flames w e.ro bl ue an d white. The boy seemed in dreadful agony, Dr L et s, nin ~ cte s sent for. and he used all the known remedies, but without• avail. The deceased centimnd 'e, an ineer si. his state uu iij Sunday, when he died. All the poisoned bread and bu: ter witness left on the shelf was gone. Wit.. noes believed deceased had eaten it.

When witness found the children on t`ho night in question, the whole of the bed was a mess of blue fiatue. The matter from deceased's mouth had not only covered the bed but his own night clothes. He was standing in the middle of one mass of blue fire. He had no intention of injuring the children when he put the bread on the shelf. Witness did not get tho. doctor until next day. Shocking Death from .Ph Frances Hill, wife of the last witness, said it was the constant practice of herself and her husband to put bru e .d and butter on the shelf for the children. They were in Coe habit of taking a chair and getting the bread down and Qiit ing it. The children wore n ever told that poison WAS in the house. Witness knew it was wrong to put poisoned bread on the shelf, the children being i n t h e ha bi t o f ta ki ng their bread from it. A powder was given to deceased on the night he took the poison. The Coroner said that the ease, showed gross carelessnee a on the part of both parents. A Juror said the case was a most peculiar one. He aad his brother jurors wished to view the room iu which t;2'he children were left on the night in question. The Conner said that before taking such a cours e , he would first take the medical evidence. Dr. Latham said that the deceased died from poisoning by phosphorus. He believed the parents gave the real edieS he prescribed. The packet was marked " Poison. ph os _ phorus paste." The poison used was one of a most deadly character. The Coroner having summed up, The Jury, after some deliberation, returned ft e following verdict—" That the deceased expired from the nor tal effects of poisoning by phosphorus, and the jurors EB3 that the deceased was killed by accident, and the jurors ,lttrther say that great censure is due to both the parents for their gross carelessness in leaving such poison in the reach of the deceased." Cruelty to a Horse. At the Enfield Potty Sessions, before E. Ford and R. C. L. Beven, Esqs., a case of extraordinary cruelty to a horse was tried. The position of the party charged—he being a. gen tleman of considerable property and holding a high position in the neighbourhood of Southgate, where his seat (I nown as " Grovelande") is situate—and the unusually aggr wated nature of the case, caused au extraordinary amount of in. terest in the neighbourhood, and the court was et .owded daring the hearing. The following is a report of the pro ceedings John Donithorne Taylor, Esq., was charged by tl le Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Anim a.ls with cruelly Musing and beating a horse on the 28th a July, in the parish of Enfield. Mr Ribton appeared for the prosecution, instructed by Mr Colam, the secretary of the society. Mr P.ignall ap peared for the defendant. Mr Ribton, in opening the case, said it was v feelings of extreme regret that be appeared to prosecute a gentleman in the defendant's position in life upon a cb arge of this nature; but it did sometimes happen that gentlemen allowed their passions to get the mastery cf them; and he believed that, when the Bench had heard the v 'hole of the evidence which would be given before them, t:ht:y would be led to the conclusion that a serious act of crut,l ty had been committed. On Friday, the Bth of July, Mr 'Taylor, the defendant, was driving down Parson's•lane, with his daughter—the pony he was driving being a very quiet ono, and one which Miss Taylor was in the habit .)f driving. The pony had been very frequently driven along the, road. in question by the lady, who generally called at: Colonel Somerset's residence; and en reaching a particcia r spot the pony s\ erved on one aide, evidently with the i...l.'ention of going to Colr.nel Somerset's as uslul. Mr Taylor! imme diately struck it with his whip; the poor animal :reared, upon which be commenced beating it, causing the I.N ,ny to plunge and kick until it released itself from the v. :hide. Mr Taylor then got down, and gathering up the reins in his left hand close to the pony's head, commenced boa sing it about the head in the most cruel manner with the best.-end of the whip. He continued his brutal conduct for 1 bout; a, quarter of an hour, beating the pony and kicking it vio lently in the stomach, till it trembled lreni head t o foot with agony, and, in the language of au eye-w itn«ss, " looked as if a bucket of water had been thrown os er it." Those present, and even Ws own daughter, retuouszvated with the defendant, the latter exclaiming, " Oh, papa, don't beat the beast so ; I shall never be able to delve it again." To which he replied, "D— your eyes, you aro as bad as the pony." Mr Ribton proceeded to state some further particulars of the offence. The summons, he said, was taken out under the 12th and 13th Vic., chap. 92. Ho trusted the magistrates would administer the law with the same impartiality as if a poor man were conoorned. Several witnesses were then examined, who proved the fact stated by counsel. Mr Taylor, in defence, said the witnesses evidently did not understand horses. He had known the pony four or five times want to turn round, and on this occasion it wanted to go into Colonel Somerset's. He then gave it three or four cuts, and it reared ; he afterwards gave it several more cuts on the side of the head, but not one on the front. He did not consider he used unnecessary violence. He could not say how the whip got broken, nor where the butt-end had gone. He did not think the pony was thrashed half enough yet—it wanted a good thrashing three or four hours a day with a good thick ash stick I (Sensation.) About a year ago he kept a horse six days and nights without food mad water for punishment, and this foolish society prosecuted him then, hut the magistrate laughed at at them, and discharged the ease. (Laughter.) Mr Ford (addressing the defendant) said—From the evi dence we are of opinion that your case does come within the statute, and that unnecessary violence was used. But if you think otherwise you can appeal, and the penalty will be fiscal at 40e and the costs, to enable you to do so. Defendant—l don't think it worth the tr6uble. I quite concur in your decision. DEATH IN A DIVING APPAB.ATIIS.—An inquest was held on board her Majesty's ship St. George, at Fal mouth, on Saturday afternoon, on the body of Samuel Warren, aged 24, a seaman and diver belonging to that ship, who was suffocated on Friday afternoon while diving in Falmouth harbour. The deceased had previously been diver on board her Majesty's ship Cambridge. He went down from a boat between two and three o'clock on Friday afternoon in thirteen and a half fathoms of water, at the spot where the St George is lying, for the purpose of re covering a set of boat's crutches that had been lost from the St. George. He selected his own attendants for the occasion from the ship's company, and arranged with them the signals, which were to be " one pull less air," "two pulls more air," " three pulls to come up. About half a minute after he was down he signaled for more air, and more was pumped down. Warren then walked about one fathom and a half, there being about 15 fathoms and a half air pipes out, an d he put his ri g ht h and across and the boat's crew wore about two minutes in pulling was immediately t a k en off, d w i h at e e n ly h co ° s m ig m n e a n ie c d ed to . Il co e m h e ad up b T een he about pu I f l o in u g r m up in w ute as s i rvu e. up. The mouthpiece of the dre ss was taken off before he h him w i as s m ta o k ul en int T o h t e he d b re o m at, and Warren was carried ears, o n board the St. Georg e ; hi s f ace, nostrils, and helmet were covered with blood. He did not speak, but gave a convulsive struggle, and died just before he was got on board. The diving dress was a new one, which the deceased had borrowed from the Falmouth Dock compan y. It was found on examination that the air pipe h a d burst at about nine fathoms from the helmet, and that the valve for the outlet of foul air was fastened. This had occasioned an extra pressure on the tube, and hence the ac cident. Means were resorted to for more than an hour to restore the deceased, but without any apparent result. The jury returned a verdict " Th a t d ecease d was suffocated by over-pressure of air whil e di v i n g, in Consequence of the escape valve of the diving apparatus being set, and that no blame attached to any one except the deceased himself." — Western Morning News.
